Stoliczka's trident bat

Stoliczka's trident bat, Aselliscus stoliczkanus, is a small Asian leaf-nosed bat. George Edward Dobson described it in 1871 from a specimen that Ferdinand Stoliczka collected on Penang Island, Malaysia, and Colin Campbell Sanborn moved it from the genus Asellia to Aselliscus in a 1952 revision. The head and body measure 40 to 50 millimetres, the forearm 39 to 44 millimetres and the tail 30 to 40 millimetres. Back hairs are nearly white at the base and brown at the tip, and the nose leaf has three points on its upper edge. The species ranges across China, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam, from about 20 to 2,100 metres above sea level, in lowland subtropical and tropical forests. Its IUCN status is Least Concern.
